Trekking in Malaysia, Bukit Tabur

Do you ever feel like you just need to escape from the City’s noise, crowds and rules? I do for sure and that’s why I’d love to share with you a breathtaking adventure that I took part in today which is shockingly only a 30 MINUTE drive away from the City Centre itself AND it will only take up half of your day!

So yesterday I managed to squeeze myself onto a last minute slot for the almighty DragonBack Trek with OpenSkyUnlimited. This company is indeed one of the best in Malaysia with it’s wide range of tours and exciting adventures just waiting for you to experience! I took my chances with this company as they were voted NO.1 for Tours and Activities in Kuala Lumpur on TripAdvisor and the photo’s looked incredible!

All in all it’s a great half day getaway escape that requires little to no preparation at all. The trek, in my opinion, was around average difficulty level so there’s no stopping everyone from giving it a go!
